Achievements tied with the Festival Playlist

[Dr. Jibbelie]

How easy is it to complete the Festival Playlist to earn all 5 achievements? I am interested in buying the game.

It's easy, but it takes time.

I’m also interested in buying, tell me, can I start this festival playlist right away? or do I need to beat the game?

To unlock the Festival Playlist you need to play the first Summer-Autumn-Winter-Spring in offline mode. It's like a story-ish introduction to let you know what you can do on the map. You just need to accumulate "Influence Points" (basically XP) to unlock the next season and finally the Festival Playlist. Once you unlock the Festival Playlist the seasons rotate weekly.

I don't remember for sure but would say that it takes like 6 hours to unlock the Playlist.

PS: the Series 76 started today, and the first "daily challenge" on the Playlist is only available for 72h (until Sunday 14:30 UTC), but you still got the next and final Series 77 if you miss this one. You can feel a bit lost in the beginning but theres a lot of stuff on Youtube and Reddit that can help. Having some playtime will help a lot to 100% a Playlist.

PS2: just in case you're not familiar with "Forza Horizon", it doesn't have a very structured main story like NFS for example. It's a "Racing Festival" where you acumulate points to unlock more activities, and a few "mini-stories sidequests". You can race any class of car at any time, there's no "slow-cars" to "fast-cars" progression. And also has the online PvP racing modes.

Do I have to complete the 4 weeks in one festival?

For the achievements?
Yes. For example, you would have to 100% "Series 77 Summer" + "Series 77 Autumn" + "Series 77 Winter" + "Series 77 Spring". It has to be all the events/challenges in the same Series.

It took me about 4 hours to reach the Festival Playlist, but I've played the game before on Xbox.

If you want to fully complete the coming month (the second-last one), you must start within two days from now / be playing by Saturday night or Sunday morning, to catch the first three daily challenges.

The final month starts in 4 weeks time.

Are you sure? I looked it up and it seems to require more skill than grinding. As it's the last festival I'm worried about not being able to complete everything in one week.

Yes I'm sure, get used to the game and you can do 100% of festival playlist. Also it's not last, last one will start in almost 4 weeks.

But then it will be the last. The current festival will be difficult to do 100% if I start today, I don't have much time to play. I was only interested because 100% will be impossible later, but if I make a mistake and don't get the achievements I will have lost R$80.00 for nothing. Thanks, but I think I'll skip this one.

I don't really get people that buy games only to do achievements in them. Instead of rushing the achievements just enjoy the game.

I don't like racing games, but when the festival is over this will be a rare 100%, so it's a reason to play. It's about never being able to do it again after this chance, but if I buy it and still can't do it then I'll have bought it for nothing, because the game has no fun value for me.

Sounds like a waste of money, honestly.

I play games for fun, buying game only to do 100% achivements sounds like a big waste of both time and money for me.

My recommendation: don't buy it. The achievements are definetely not enough reason to buy. "I don't like racing games" is the answer to your question.
